Of course the decision about a name would be a really huge discussion!
 But if there was a "Fedora Stable Leader" or anything vaguely
equivalent then I would be very interested in following by being a
dedicated user.

I couldn't possibly answer the second question but I would be
surprised if, given the will to work on it, starting after the next
release, if a year later a first shot could not be up and working.
After all from a rawhide designed to work to such a new model, working
towards the next release say after f17 which would not be very much
different to the existing rawhide timescale, and then maintaining a
test regime to support packages for a newly installed system from the
latest rawhide snapshot at the release point, plus testing the
existing two current releases at the same point with a view to moving
to rolling release doesn't seem beyond being reasonable - though of
course there will be a variety of opinions on that issue I am quite
sure!
